It will also revitalize downtown by creating works that become the cornerstones of growth and progress. The ACT Process a.

Document the partnership through the website and blog, including photographs of meetings and the progress of the piece of art. d. Carry out the creation of the piece with leading artist. e. Unveil and celebrate the “Look What We Did!” of it all. f. Promote the finished product and encourage the community to be proud of its neighbors. g. Prove that community participation holds up stronger than any statistic.
